Daniel Farke has more than a few areas that he needs to strengthen in his squad as things stand, with incoming transfers not yet satisfactory for the manager.
His midfield was reinforced by the arrival of Ethan Ampadu from Chelsea, but so many more signings are needed, and another midfielder would be really beneficial
TEAMtalk are reporting that Leeds are one of a number of sides that are interested in signing Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill this month.
Having captained the Clarets for a large portion of last season during their Championship-winning campaign under Vincent Kompany, he was named on the bench in their opening Premier League game, and only came on in injury time as Manchester City beat them 3-0.
Brownhill is in the final year of his contract at Turf Moor, and while Kompany would prefer to keep him, it seems as though his contract situation dictates he could leave
Wolves are said to have long-standing admiration of the 27-year-old, while fellow Premier League sides Everton and Crystal Palace are keen too.
From the Championship, Middlesbrough and Leicester City are also named in the report as potentially looking into a deal for Brownhill.
A contract extension at Turf Moor is not believed to be close for the midfielder, meaning a move this month might be best for the Clarets to avoid losing him for nothing in 2024.
Bronwhill would be a brilliant signing and would fit right into what we need from our midfield setup, and might not cost a fortune either.
He earns £40,000-per-week, according to Capology, and that might be lofty for what we’re aiming to do under the 49ers, but he’d be worth extra expenditure.
Whether he’d want to drop into the Championship after clinching promotion with Burnley remains to be seen, but he would be a great signing
